#Jane penderwick

[iamaugustyouaremyjune]

batty doesn’t marry jeffrey that’s weird. after batty graduates i like to think she and jane get a place together and host dinner parties where jane can give dramatic toasts and batty can play piano. ben and lydia stop by for a good meal when they’re wanting support but dont want too many questions from martin and iantha. the place is a second home for tommy and rosalids kids in their younger years, coming over for movie nights and home productions of plays and trips to the zoo. batty helps jane swipe through girls on the dating apps. batty comes home one day with a dog from the shelter and jane is so upset at the impulsivity that skyye (ironically) has to mediate over the phone, but after a week jane and that dog are inseparable.

Hi! I really liked reading the Penderwicks when I was a kid and I must have read the whole series like twenty times or something. I was wondering if anyone else got the impression that Jane actually wrote the series when she was older? Idk that's what I interpreted Wesley's prediction in At Last that she would write a series, maybe five books, to mean. Maybe this is accepted? Ty!

Wait that's wild that I've never thought this (or don't remember thinking it lmao) given that the books are meant to be a Little women retelling and it's absolutely understood that "Jo wrote the books when she was older." So yes, love this interpretation and maybe someone who's been more active than me recently can tell me if I'm way behind 😅

A very obscure connection, but a cool "parallel" nonetheless—close, sibling duos that give off the same energy:

Skye Penderwick 🤝 Rafal Mistral

Jane Penderwick 🤝 Rhian Mistral

⸻

I highly recommend both The Penderwicks and the SGE series. They're two of my favorite childhood book series. Who else has read both?

The Penderwicks at Point Mouette is the third book and my favorite of the series; it's basically Rise in terms of dynamics, except The Penderwicks is a much quieter book series than SGE is, and the characterizations are top-notch, vivid and distinctive. Also, the books remind me of Beverly Cleary's Ramona series and Little Women.

If anyone would like further explanation:

Skye has a temper but also has somewhat rational, cool-headed, Rafal energy in some way. Even if they're in totally different genres/contexts, their characters intersect at some point, by a lot, I think. There's the anger issues, the obsession with order, the protectiveness, the exasperation with idiocy, colder viewpoints than others', and a fascination with retribution and justice, etc.

Jane and Rhian are the siblings that get crushes easily. Jane is a little out of the loop, innocent, susceptible to being taken advantage of, daydreamy, imaginative, and a hopeless romantic, so she's not entirely like Rhian, but her character drives her in a similar direction as the one Rhian in Rise tends toward.

i have so many feelings about jane and batty. they hardly have scenes together in the first four books (because they don’t need to! because jane has skye. and batty has rosy) but it’s so easy to see how much they love each other. jane lets batty help her with her play because she knows that batty likes to be included. she's put away her distress on multiple occasions for batty, like when she told batty a bedtime story even though she was worried about rosalind, or asked if batty had any anxieties even though she was concerned about claire's ankle. and batty repeatedly jumped in to help with lydia and ben during at last when it was clear that jane was overwhelmed.

and so much of that stems from the fact that jane never holds any resentment towards batty. she always understood that lizzy didn't chose between her life and batty's. she never felt like her childhood was taken because she didn't have to help raise batty more than any other sister did. and batty, maybe because of the way jane treats her, never feels like she's ruined jane's life.

and because of that, they have the simplest relationship out of any of the original for sisters. and i think that's just so sweet.

Jane Penderwick listens to Chappell Roan I don’t make the rules.

Skye listens to Hozier but specifically No Plan because she found out it was about Katie Mack’s book. Rosalind spent at least a portion of her teen years listening to Taylor Swift but she keeps coming back to Ani DiFranco.

Batty’s taste is in canon lol so I’m not going to speculate but I do love Hope ur ok by Olivia Rodrigo for her as a character.

the superbowl is HUGE on gardam street because the geigers throw a huge party.

rosalind always bakes for the party and organizes all the food

skye is pretty into the game along with nick and tommy

jane is just there for the superbowl ads

batty and ben are just annoying, asking for everyone's attention while they try and watch the game

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Penderwicks Series - Jeanne Birdsall Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Jeffrey Tifton/Skye Penderwick, Rosalind Penderwick & Skye Penderwick & Jane Penderwick & Elizabeth "Batty" Penderwick Characters: Skye Penderwick, Jeffrey Tifton, Jane Penderwick, Rosalind Penderwick, Elizabeth "Batty" Penderwick Additional Tags: Friends to Lovers, Childhood Friends, Romance, Fluff, Love Confessions, Sisters, Sister-Sister Relationship, Siblings, Family, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, basically ignoring all the plot of 'in spring' and 'at last', Autistic Elizabeth "Batty" Penderwick, relevant for like two seconds but it's important to me that you know Summary:

"It was a perfectly normal Saturday in the Penderwick household, or about as normal as things ever got there on Gardam Street, when Jeffrey Tifton decided to throw everything into flux by finally confessing his years-long passion for Skye Penderwick."

Or, when Jeffrey tells Skye how he feels about her, she decides to ignore the issue and never talk about it again. Luckily, she has three sisters who aren't willing to let that happen. Let the MOPS commence!

I hear that there’s at least a moderately active Penderwicks community on tumblr, so I thought I’d throw this new fic of mine out into the wild and see if anyone reads it.
